Just ran across this. Worth a look.

This is so not internal, lol.

subrock · (09-18-2009, 01:57 AM)

I am not good with computer how did this get here.

Archie · (09-18-2009, 01:57 AM)

Looks great. I'm gonna grab Witcher EE off Steam when I get a new PC. I can't wait to play it.

Leatherface · (09-18-2009, 01:58 AM)

Huh? Dunno about that, it's just everything about this screams "Hey fans check out our game."

Ah misread on my part then.

Canceling the console versions you are dead to me

DeaconKnowledge · (09-18-2009, 02:04 AM)

Ugh. PLEASE tell me those voices are placeholders.

You can't be sure. CD Projekt could be that narcissistic.

Darklord · (09-18-2009, 02:04 AM)

I haven't even finished the first. :\

They are, that's not the main characters voice...not even close.

riskVSreward · (09-18-2009, 02:05 AM)

I love me some Witcher, still waiting on that 360 port tho.

Thanks for the vid though, seems like someone has been pretty naughty in making it public.

Acosta · (09-18-2009, 02:05 AM)

Can't wait. The Witcher was fantastic.

Aljosa · (09-18-2009, 02:05 AM)

OMFG! YES!

Holy shit this just made my day. I LOVED the first Witcher. Bring it on CDProjekt!

Yoboman · (09-18-2009, 02:05 AM)

Yes, yes!! All over my face!!! I love the Witcher!!! YES

Winterblink · (09-18-2009, 02:06 AM)

Game looks purty.

It hurt me too.

This looks great though.

Keikoku · (09-18-2009, 02:07 AM)

Holy shit it looks amazing

It was canceled.

This.... However, with the amount of problems I've had (even with the enhanced editon) with this game crashing, I wonder how difficult it'd be to pass QA on the 360/PS3.

Joseph Merrick · (09-18-2009, 02:10 AM)

looks good

ShockingAlberto · (09-18-2009, 02:11 AM)

I still need to finish this game.

Or...make any progress at all.

Yoboman · (09-18-2009, 02:13 AM)

Hopefully the voice acting is more consistent. And people have individual voices and less repeated NPCs. Only complaint I had with the original

Willy Wanka · (09-18-2009, 02:13 AM)

I'm not to keen on the introduction of QTEs but apart from that it looks great.

Ros8105 · (09-18-2009, 02:17 AM)

This time it ain't my fault.

lorddarkflare · (09-18-2009, 02:19 AM)

Yeah, this ain't internal.

Also, i hate the fact that they kept the combat, it was the main reason i never bothered, that and the backtracking and the potion focus.

Hope they change that.

Yasae · 02:24 AM

Damn.. That looks pretty good.

They're using placeholders as audio for now. You can hear Geralt's combat exclamations from the first game @ 4:52, for example.

EDIT: Answer me this. I don't remember the flashing sword icon (indicating a chain) remaining lit when you moved your cursor off the the enemy in the original game, yet this time it stays aflame regardless of cursor position.

Am I remembering things wrong? If not, that's (strangely enough) a big improvement over the first game.

dejan · (09-18-2009, 02:22 AM)

Looking good so far. The voices are obviously just place holders.

Yeah, how about ... no?

permutated · (09-18-2009, 02:24 AM)

Wow the framerate is horrible.

"Cool, isn't it?"

It is alpha footage

Had to be sure. Watching that was like watching Star Wars and listening to Vader before James Earl Jones' voice was dubbed in.

Yeah, that dragon part was like the visually least impressive stuff in that video. It's just footage from an alpha version tho. Their new day/night cycle tech looks great even at this early stage in development.

It still looks really ugly.

As far as we know, that was a dispute between them and the developer it was outsourced to. A fairly small developer like CD Projekt probably can't afford to keep throwing money at it until it happens. I wouldn't be suprised to see Witcher 2 on consoles.

hyduK · (09-18-2009, 02:35 AM)

I came.

You just broke my mind. I don't think it's possible for me to disagree more.

HooYaH · (09-18-2009, 02:36 AM)

Is Geralt's voice different? Sounds younger.

I dont think the voice acting is done, probably fill in voices.

peakish · (09-18-2009, 02:44 AM)

Doesn't say anything about the game. Although I'm pretty excited anyways since I liked a lot of features in the first game, but they should really hype other things than QTE:s, graphics and crowds that reacts to some actions.

They really should redesign the combat, the focus on potions was great but timing attacks was lame. And less combat overall please, must every RPG be filled with poor encounters wherever you turn.

Nirolak · (09-18-2009, 02:53 AM)

I'm pretty sure the staff is doing all the voice over in this video.

MickeyKnox · (09-18-2009, 02:59 AM)

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

So hyped for this.

It'll still be the best RPG of whatever year it comes out.

Traced-Velocity · (09-18-2009, 03:00 AM)

Hell. Yes.

Flying_Phoenix · (09-18-2009, 03:02 AM)

"The Witcher" was the only pure WRPG that I've ever REALLY enjoyed from start to finish.

I know this may be a bit early saying, but so far it seems to me that CDProjekt really knows how to make a good WRPG (similar to how Atlus really knows how to make a good JRPG).

Dance In My Blood · (09-18-2009, 03:03 AM)

Damn, CD Projekt threw some D's on that bitch.

Keikoku · (09-18-2009, 03:04 AM)

Smartest thing they could of done. This game is made for the PC and it would of saddened me to see them hack it up just to try and get it to work with a controller

Doytch · (09-18-2009, 03:05 AM)

The Witcher was everything that's right with PC gaming. Will buy the sequel day one.

Technosteve · (09-18-2009, 03:07 AM)

the combat in the game is ehhh, it's so close to fable 2 system of combat they might as well implement a better 1 button combat solution. Instead of click wait for animation, then click again.

r.gun · (09-18-2009, 03:10 AM)

All over my face.
